- Is the Hourglass Small big enough for everyday use?
- It holds a phone, cardholder, keys and a lipstick, but not much more. It works as a day-to-evening bag rather than a work tote.
- Can the strap be removed?
- Yes. The shoulder strap is detachable, so you can carry it by the top handle alone.
- What is the closure like?
- A magnetic flap closes the main compartment, and there is a zipped pocket inside for small items.
- How does it compare with the Hourglass XS?
- The Small is larger and easier to use daily; the XS is closer to an evening-only size. Both share the curved shape and top-handle design.
- Does the croc-embossed leather need special care?
- Keep it away from water and store it in its dust bag. The embossed finish and smooth panels scratch, so avoid rubbing against rough surfaces.
- Is it a good first designer bag?
- If you want a recognizable, structured bag for evenings and short outings, yes. If you need to carry a lot daily, a larger or softer bag suits better.
